A video has emerged showing UK cops choke-holding and tasering a Black schoolboy, sparking a social media outcry. West Midlands Police said officers were called to a property this week after a dispute between neighbours. In this footage you can see a 14-year-old being restrained and then tasered after breaking free. His mum yells at the cops to stop because her son has asthma. An officer is heard saying ‘I don’t care’ and tells people to ‘stay back’. In typical fashion the young boy was subsequently arrested on suspicion of assaulting a police officer. Video of the incident has been viewed thousands of times online and has prompted a backlash. There’s long been concern over police treatment of Blacks in Britain. UK government statistics show Blacks are nine times more likely to be stopped and searched by police than Whites. They are also seven times more likely to die than Whites following restraint by officers. This latest incident will be reviewed by Britain's Office for Police Conduct.
